Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula:
[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Identify the values:
[tex]y_2=44[/tex]
[tex]y_1=92[/tex]
[tex]x_2=21[/tex]
[tex]x_1=17[/tex]
Plugin the values; solve:
[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{44-92}{21-17}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{-48}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\bold{m=-12}[/tex]
Therefore, the slope of the line containing the points (17,92) and
(21, 44) is -12.
